Brother MFC-9320CW Remote Setup Port (COM3) Driver

The Brother MFC-9320CW Remote Setup Port (COM3) driver helps Windows recognize the communication interface used by Brother’s Remote Setup software to access supported device settings. It is intended for users setting up the MFC-9320CW multifunction printer or troubleshooting a missing remote setup port—not for camera capture, despite any camera-category listing.

Key Features

• Remote setup communication: Supports the connection between compatible Brother setup software and the device’s configuration interface.
• Port recognition: Helps Windows identify the Remote Setup Port shown as COM3; the assigned COM number may differ between computers.
• Legacy Windows support: When choosing a package, check compatibility with Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP, including your system’s 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
• Configuration support: Works alongside the appropriate Brother utilities. A remote setup port driver does not replace the separate components needed for printing or scanning.

How to Install Brother MFC-9320CW Remote Setup Port (COM3) Driver

1. Check your Windows version and architecture. For Windows 10/11 systems, confirm compatibility carefully: Windows 10 is listed for this device, but Windows 11 support should not be assumed.
2. Locate a trusted Brother MFC-9320CW Remote Setup Port (COM3) driver download for Windows. Choose the latest version available for your specific operating system, preferably from Brother’s official support resources. A free download should not require purchasing a third-party driver updater.
3. Download and extract the package if necessary. Close any open Brother utilities, then run the installer. If the port component is included in a larger software package, follow that package’s setup instructions.
4. Connect the printer when prompted and follow the on-screen steps to install the required components. If you received driver files without an installer, use Device Manager’s “Update driver” option and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Restart Windows if requested. Check Device Manager for warning icons, then open the compatible Brother Remote Setup utility to verify that it can communicate with the device.

Keep the driver and related Brother software updated when a compatible update addresses a problem or improves support for your system. Before replacing a working installation, review the package details and supported operating systems; a newer release is not necessarily suitable for every older Windows version.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or Remote Setup Port is missing: Run Brother’s MFC-9320CW full driver/software package as administrator, connect USB directly rather than through a hub, power the printer on, reboot, then check Device Manager > Ports for “Brother MFC-9320CW Remote Setup Port (COM3).”
• Device not detected or COM3 unavailable: Confirm the USB cable and port, remove any stale COM3 assignment in Device Manager, reconnect the printer, and let Windows reinstall the port. Do not assign COM3 if another serial device already uses it.
• Version conflicts after older Brother software: Uninstall previous MFC-9320CW and Brother Remote Setup/PC-FAX drivers, restart, then install only the current Brother package. Avoid mixing drivers from other Brother models.
